Top 10 Books on Sustainability: 2014.

Seaman, Donna (author).

Curious, rigorous, and thoroughly engaging environmental writers investigate the state of our warming and polluted planet, elucidate the alarming consequences—from mass extinctions to epidemics to water and food concerns—and report on inspired efforts to turn things around.

Weisman considers the conundrums of population growth as climate change intensifies in frank conversations with religious leaders, scientists, and public-health experts in more than 20 diverse countries around the world.

As Schwartz reveals a wealth of detail about soil’s extraordinarily beneficial properties, she also presents compelling findings about how proper soil management can end escalating worldwide desertification and combat global warming.

Wilkinson is the first to tell the whole story of Ted Turner’s innovative, philanthropic, ecohumanitarian efforts supporting clean water and sustainable energy initiatives, and restoring and preserving vast ecosystems and diverse endangered species.

Davies explains with eye-opening precision just how very hazardous to our health toxic waste, air pollution, and pesticide use are, and what the growing environmental health movement is doing about it.

Kolbert brilliantly and engagingly combines science and travel writing to fully reveal how our use of fossil fuels is rapidly changing the atmosphere, the oceans, and the climate, potentially forcing millions of species into extinction and putting our own future at risk.

Couch investigates such established sources of energy as nuclear, natural gas, and coal as well as cutting-edge technologies involving wind, solar, hydropower, tidal, and biomass production in this accessible guide to urgent energy challenges.

Drawing inspiration from nature’s endless food chain, where one creature’s waste becomes nutrition for others, zero-waste and sustainability innovators McDonough and Braungart offer blueprints for a future in which, instead of destroying the environment, we add to the earth’s abundance.
